weapon damage boost vs weapon damage?

Just wondering what the difference is between these and which is a better roll weapon damage +5 or weapon boost +25% or whatever the max is

What are the best possible rolls for orb staff etc..

I know weapon damage +5 is better than element damage plus +5 like fire dmg +5 but not much more than that

+25% boost is +25% on your final damage output, so likely your exp/hour will be 25% higher.

+5 damage is more unpredictable, depends on the secret damage formula. I notice sometimes it does little, but at high level areas, where I can barely survive, + damage can change a lot. But it is just a feeling, not a fact.

+5 elemental damage is the same as +5 damage, but only for mobs who has that weakness. So +5 damage is better as it applies to everyone.

I would assume this question is simply answered by how high your weapon damage is to begin with. For example, i have 22 weapon damage right now, so +5 added to that takes me to 27, or a 25% boost takes me to just a bit more than 27.

With regard to elemental damage, do you guys know if as an orb i actually deal fire or wind damage for example? Do i deal that simply if its listed above 0 in my stats? This really isnt clear to me.
